Buen lugar económico. Baño bien. Regadera modesta. Polvo en el cuarto. Y colchón duro. Buen clima. Y bonito closet amplio. No hay elevador al tercer piso. Accesible. Ideal. Para ahorrar y pasearte.
Las habitaciones son pequeñas pero esta limpio el lugar, esta muy bien ubicado en el centro de la ciudad. Si lo que buscas es ahorrar en hospedaje este es el lugar indicado.
Es un hotel económico tipo para solo ir a dormir pero tiene un buen servicio, en lo personal me ha tocado que esta limpio agua caliente, Internet y esta ubicado en el centro de Tampico! Creo que pagas lo justo!
En cuestión de precio, está muy económico. Las habitaciones están cómodas, algunas cuentan con refrigerador , así pudimos comprar filete en el mercado y lo llevamos fresco para hacer ceviche en la playa . Te hacen limpieza a diario (solo si tú autorizas). El trato con el personal de limpieza y recepción está todo bien. Wifi gratis Y lo mejor excelente ubicación !! Sin duda alguna regresaría una y otra vez!! Sin contar que tengo 4 años llegando al mismo hotel, y siempre llevo autobuses y la gente queda satisfecha
Solo que no ponen jabón y el dispensador del shampoo se batalla mucho para sacar y en lo personal a mi y mi familia la comida del buffet no nos gustó pero en todo lo demás exelente lo recomiendo
Buena ubicación y buen servicio, precios accesibles
Buena atención con aire acondicionado buen. Precio $600 pesos por habitación de 2 camas
esta agradable el hotel esta tranquilo a pesar de la zona muy limpio y no es tan caro yo si lo recomiendo para descansar muy agusto
